[Nightmare C N P Exam Today Need Help]

Sorry to hear of your issues bud, and I have to agree with Hamslice. I have had over 30 C&Ps in the last 2 years, and most of them were horrible, and even with that said most of my Disabilities were granted at high %s. Just try to calm down and post your C&P exam results on here when they are available, and we are all here to help you. Good luck and God Bless

[Oklahoma Veteran Faces Life In Prison For Treating Ptsd With Marijuana]

Thanks for the info bud, and I currently take 35 pills a day, and at 33 don't seem to be Curing me!!!

[Email To Hickey I Think I Got A Vague Response - What Do You Think?]

Welcome aboard and sorry for how you feel, but I have to agree with guys above. You just don't know until the claim is complete. I have filed 4 FDCs in the last 2 years with over 30 C&Ps. Only a handful of exams felt like they went well, yet 90% of what I filed for was not only granted but at high %s. I always say that Evidence is Evidence is Evidence. If it is there for someone to read, then you should be fine in the end. Good luck and God Bless

[When Does Ebenefits Update Status For Us To See?]

Typically Mon and Fri are the best days to see updates, even though Ebenefits is always behind the ball.

[Shouldnt I Be 70%?]

Based on the wording above it could be rated at 50 or 70%, up to the rater. I am 70%, and that is with being listed as danger to self and others, along with 3 months in mental hospital. Good luck, and atleast the VA did not reduce you.

[Mental Health Increase, Iu, Fdc]

I agree with USMC on this one bud. Just submit claim on Ebenefits as FDC and good luck

[0 Percent Rating Illegal?]

I know how you feel bud, I have a ton of 0%s in that is for serious health problems. Good luck

[After 5 Yrs Dro Grants 100% P&t, No C&p/chap 35 Prize!]

Congrats on the Great News and God Bless!!!

[Va Compensation Question]

You can work if you are 100% Schedular, but the VA can always come after you. If you are IU, you definitely cant work. Only you can decide what is right for you and your family. Good luck and God Bless

[When Does Ebenefits Update Status For Us To See?]

Ebenefits isn't very accurate most of the time, but the best days for update is Mon and Fri Mornings. We all go crazy during the wait process that is for sure. I will say that in my case I have completed 4 FDCs with over 30 conditions in less than 2 years. Good luck

[Claim Status]

I agree with Bronco bud, and just ride it out and see what happens. Good luck and God Bless

[Changed From Pt Idu]

Congrats on the 100% Schedular, that is way better than IU. The VA will leave you alone now, and not ask yearly whether you are working or not. Also if God Forbid you pass away, that Schedular is better than IU, as my 65 yr old Widow of a Vet just found out the hard way.

[100% T&p]

Congrats on the Great News and God Bless!!!

[Is Wife Entitled To Va Compensation?]

Pete is right on the money but I know a Vietnam Vet that was married to his wife for 25 years, and judge gives his wife half his VA Disability and DOD retirement, as the VET was stated that since he was married for atleast 10 years, then she was entitled to half of all Disability and Retirement. Good luck

[Dispute Wrong Medical Report And File Grievance]

Bronco is right on the money completely and to me just too Many Fish to Fry out there, then to worry about the Small stuff. I guarantee if we all went thru are C Files and Records we would find plenty of wrong info. Even my military STRs have a ton of wrong or bad info, as just too many folks have put their hands on our records over the years. I am very OCD, but even I don't expect the VA or ROs to be perfect.

[Opinions On C&p Exam]

I personally wrote you in the other thread, and it looks to be granted at 100% or as stated above 70% with IU.

[C & P Doctor Not Cancer Doc]

This is not un common at all bud. I just had my Scars and Tongue Damage Reviewed by a Heart Surgeon, so what does that tell you. I have had over 30 C&Ps in the last 2 years and 90% were not by specialist. I too had Testicular Surgery and it along with my Crohns Disease was granted SC by a General Doc, not specialist. To me Evidence is Evidence is Evidence regardless of Doc, PA or Nurse, as the VA has the Questions and DBQs listed on the screen with the Check Boxes for the Exam Docs to complete. Good luck

[C&p 5-Year Reevaluation?]

Congrats on the Review being complete bud. My Re Eval letters were written very similar, and have just the basic needed info. If you have IU, then it looks like it will continue.

[Tbi Re-Examination?]

When I was medically retired in 2013, I was given a SC of 30% for TBI/Migraines. I opened up an FDC in Nov 14 for other conditions, since I was already 100% I think the VA thought that I was rocking the boat. So I get a call that I have a bunch of C&Ps in Feb 15 and all of my current High %s including my PTSD and TBI were being Reviewed, even though TBI was not up for Review until Feb 2016. No issues there, just when in to the Re Evals, and in fact it back fired on the VA's face, not only were most of my conditions continued at high %, but the RO increased my TBI from 30 to 50%. As long as your evidence and records are there, you have nothing to worry about. Good luck

[80% Success, Have A Few Questions With Award Letter]

Congrats on the good news, and that pay as stated above is based on 80% VA, and not permanent. Remember that once you are granted SC, you can always submit for an increase if a condition gets worse, or IU if you feel that the Disabilities keep you from working. Remember that if you have been working more then a few hours here In there, it will be harder to get IU. Also you can apply for SSDI anytime. Good luck and God Bless

[Lost In Thought]

I love Natural Herbs and GNC, and Bronco is on the Money!!!

[Secondary Ratings ?]

We all can read and know what the CFR Policies state bud, but when it comes to the VA and ROs, you really never know until you get that Official Letter as to what happens.

[Suicide]

What I stated above came out a little harsh, and by no means did I mean for that. We all know that the VA will twist everything we say and do. I know that you don't want to get the money to get rich, but instead make sure your husband is not stressed or lose everything, I get that, but the VA does not, as there are too many Vets that are starving and Homeless just hoping to get some SC and a few bucks to get out of the street. I feel for you and your family, and I truly mean that my friend. I am so so sorry of what you are going thru. Please sit down with your family and decide what is best for you guys. Take care of your Mental Health needs and the rest will follow thru. Just don't think of causing harm to your self, it did not help me, and it would be a shame to lose another good Vet. God bless
